        Verdict

        Beija Flor came up short once again at Kempton and steps back up in distance while Tokyo Chic and Ghostly were both placed over a mile at the same track last time. The Bay Warrior went close when last racing over track and trip early in the year but ARTISAN BLEU looks worth sticking with. She scored over course and distance recently with the re-opposing Pips Tune back in third and Adam West’s filly should be in the mix once again despite a 5lb rise.
